Death by a thousand cuts, could describe our current world; lifestyle and diet changes can go so far to offset the damage that trauma generates in the body, but at some point, there is a reckoning, if left unaddressed. Our world is in crisis and being able to express pent up emotions is both cathartic and healing.

I saw a reel on Instagram and the gist of it was that the whole trend to wellness, was a mask for the fact that we are living through collapse. "Fascism is descending on us, like a dragon through the sky... And the solution that we have been provided, is to work out and eat better and that isn't going to work... There is no individual response to this feeling of unease. This feeling of panic." https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ49k48SOeJ/

It took me back to the time of the lock downs, when to normalize life, people were baking sour dough bread and doing hobbies; anything to distract from the reality that life was far from normal. Online sales exploded and acreages became highly sought after, as people embraced escapism. Yet the freight train of sudden deaths, inflation, higher taxes, more government tyranny, mandates was barrelling down on us, and because we felt powerless to do anything about it, we became activists, protesters and/or homesteaders stocking up on supplies and dreaming of utopia of like minded people building a better world together.

Is there a positive spin that can be projected
